No. Nobody in the Trump administration went to jail for colluding with Russia. > The Special Counsel's report, made public in April 2019, examined numerous contacts between the Trump campaign and Russian officials but concluded that, though the Trump campaign welcomed the Russian activities and expected to benefit from them, there was insufficient evidence to bring any conspiracy or coordination charges against Trump or his associates. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_2016_United_States_elections https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Russian_interference_in_the_20...

Strictly there are no "conspiracy" charges. Manafort was charged on his own. However, he is a Trump associate, and he was charged as a result of the Muller investigation.

  Yes but not for colliding with Russia, which is a fairly important part of a conspiracy about Trump colluding with Russia to steal the election.

    Would you be saying that if it was a Clinton or Biden associate jailed? After all, there's no evidence that Joe Biden colluded in or even had any knowledge of whatever it was that Hunter biden was supposed to have done that isn't being investigated by law enforcement or the courts.

      Yes I would. See earlier in the thread where literally the first thing I mention is that Trump lies a lot. This isn't team sports. QAnon being fake doesn't make RussiaGate real.
